About us
The mission of Ada S. McKinley Community Services, Inc. is to empower, educate, and employ people to change lives and strengthen communities. The agency was founded as a settlement house in 1919 by Ada Sophia McKinley, a schoolteacher and social reformer, who saw the need to assist veterans returning from World War I and African Americans migrating from the South. Having just completed celebrating its 100th anniversary, the agency serves more than 7,000 people annually at over 70 locations, primarily in Illinois/Chicago with additional sites in Indiana and Wisconsin. Ada S. McKinley has three areas of service: Child Development & Youth; Employment & Community Support; and Behavioral Health & Clinical. Services rendered daily include tutoring, mentoring and college placement, foster care, housing opportunities, youth and family counseling, employment training and placement, and head start programs. The vision of Ada S. McKinley is for all people to have the opportunity for education and employment.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the local business leaders and professionals who took time from their demanding schedules to participate in our annual From the Classroom to the Boardroom MVP Luncheon. A total of 13 professionals representing a range of careers and leadership positions, including our very own CEO Jamal Malone, made it possible to provide this memorable experience to the young men served by our College Preparation & Placement Program. The dialogue exchanged between our students and the leaders who came to inspire, support and lend advice to them was invaluable! Over 50 young men had the opportunity to hear the stories of successful men of similar backgrounds and learn how they overcame adversity. They engaged in meaningful conversation discussing life, opportunities for young black men, and the challenges all leaders face on the road to achieving success. In addition, students participated in enrichment activities that support their own interests, career goals, and college plans.

Our students will treasure and remember this in years to come as they pursue their goals and dreams! – Cyrus Bracey – George Ellzey Jr. – Jauwan Hall – Javid Jenkins – Howard V.
